After pondering for a long while, Mr. Zhen finally spoke.
"Yes, Aunt Ju and I do want a child, a son." His tone was low, "But I won't neglect you and your brother!"
Zhen Yu neither agreed nor disagreed, just looking at him.
Zhen Hailong was inwardly annoyed, what's going on with this little wench? No one has ever taught her martial arts!
Yesterday, after Xiao Ju woke up, she cried to him non-stop. Hearing about the way Zhen Yu fought, she seed professional!
It was like seeing a ghost! Where in the world did this damned girl learn that?
Now she is giving him this deathly look; if it weren't for the fact that it was not a good ti to fall out with her, he would really like to give her a beating on the spot! How dare she hit a pregnant woman?!
Mr. Zhen put on a loving smile and continued to speak: "Dad really is tight on funds right now! It's my fault, I admit it. When your mom and I split up, all I got was the stuff in this room, not a penny—"
"Liar!" Zhen Yu interrupted him: "You clearly got more than ten thousand yuan!"
"!" Zhen Hailong's face turned red with rage, inwardly complaining.
That Cheng surna, what an unreliable one! How could you tell everything to a child! Should the amount of money the family has also be told to the children?!
Mr. Zhen took a breath and steered the conversation, "What I'm saying is, I haven't got a penny left, it's all gone into renting this shop!"
Zhen Yu didn't even want to bother with his words, looking at him as if she were looking at a scamr.
Her inner voice was screaming madly.
Who are you trying to fool? Who are you trying to fool? Treating like a three-year-old to hoodwink?!
Which shop in this row would dare to ask for a rent over ten thousand?
Ten thousand yuan could buy a shop!
If you really are that foolish, even your mother's urn couldn't remain sealed! I bet my grandma would be so angry that she'd co back from her grave spouting green smoke, poking at your forehead and teaching you how to behave!
No! Teaching you how to be a ghost!
Zhen Hailong, enraged by his daughter's gaze, finally could not hold back and slamd the counter, "Bang!"
"I don't have that much money! Just one month's Love, take it or leave it!"
Zhen Yu slowly stood up and reached out her hand in front of Mr. Zhen, "Hand it over."
Mr. Zhen thought he was going to have to argue a few more words, but he didn't expect her to suddenly reach out her hand so swiftly, which caught him off guard.
It wasn't until Zhen Yu repeated, "Hand it over," that Mr. Zhen let out a heavy sigh and handed over two hundred yuan that he had prepared in advance in his shirt pocket to his daughter.
Seeing his daughter's tender white hand, Mr. Zhen's heart suddenly felt a hint of sourness. He quickly blinked twice, pretending nothing had happened.
He kindly said, "Go on! Next month, dad will bring it to your mom in person."
Zhen Yu was about to turn around and leave when she heard his words, and then suddenly looked up at Mr. Zhen.
After pausing for just a second, she lowered her head again, softly murmured a "Hmm," and walked away.
Mr. Zhen inhaled deeply, sowhat ruefully, and let out a long sigh, silently watching his daughter's figure disappearing into the distance through the glass door.
Zhen Yu was in a very bad mood, even miserable.
She had made up her mind to force Mr. Zhen to cough up a year's living expenses today, knowing he had the money.
But when Mr. Zhen got angry just now, she suddenly changed her mind and decided to accept just one month's.
This was all nothing; next month she would go and demand it, she had her ways to make him pay a year's worth at once.
But just now...
Her father's heavy sigh, the expression he didn't manage to completely hide, and that last sentence.
It reminded her of the day she was sent to her grandfather's house in her previous life.
Back then, she understood that Mr. Zhen still cared for her in his heart, it's just that... she couldn't take precedence.
Now that she had gone through it all once more, the feeling was hard to bear.
If he were a complete scumbag, even if he were her biological father, she wouldn't hesitate to ask for money!
But he just wasn't! He still cherished that tiny bit of old affection...
It seed Zhen Yu really had to strive to help Mrs. Zhen expand the Shoe City business.
As for alimony, just go with Mr. Zhen's idea and pay monthly!
Zhen Yu was engulfed in a low pressure, not wanting to see any acquaintances at the mont, but simply wishing to greet her mother before rushing ho to be alone and quiet for a while.
But just her luck, as soon as she lifted her head, she saw a crowd gathered at the entrance of their Shoe City.
What the hell, it's only the second day since opening and there's always so moron picking a fight?
Zhen Yu, with a cold expression, pushed through the crowd layered inside and out.
"Hey! Where did this girl co from? Stop squeezing!"
"Ouch! Who the hell stepped on my foot?"
"Damn it! Stop pushing, or I'm going to fall over!"
Inside the circle stood a stylish woman, holding a pair of won's leather shoes in her hand.
Her right index finger almost poked Mrs. Zhen's nose as she spat accusations.
"These leather shoes are fake! They're not even leather! They're synthetic! Charging so much for fake leather! How shalessly greedy!"
Mrs. Zhen first defended to the crowd, "These aren't synthetic leather! Don't listen to her nonsense!"
Then she imdiately turned to the woman and shouted, "I told you when you bought them, they are made of second-layer leather! Not genuine leather! With this price, you won't find genuine leather shoes anywhere!"
The woman turned to the crowd with the shoes, "See! She admitted it! She said with this price I couldn't buy 'genuine leather shoes'! aning yours aren't genuine leather! If they're not genuine, they must be fake ones!"
After her performance, she turned back and poked Mrs. Zhen on the bridge of the nose, "You swindler!"
Zhen Yu had already reached the doorway, now standing by Mrs. Zhen's side. Facing the woman who brought trouble upon herself, she wouldn't be the slightest bit polite.
She stepped forward, grabbed the woman's index finger, and twisted outward.
Crack...
Before the crowd could react, there was a crisp sound.
"Ah..."
The fashionable woman scread in pain.
With a stern look, Zhen Yu held the woman's index finger and coldly asked, "Where do you sell shoes?!"
"Let go!" The woman was sweating from pain but didn't dare to move, only screaming at the crowd, "Help! She's beating ! Soone break it up!"
No one stepped forward.
Anyone who saw an adult woman unable to handle a teenage girl wouldn't move to pull the girl away!
Besides, it was just one finger that was caught.
Zhen Yu's wrist applied more force, ice-cold word by word, "Say it! Where do you sell shoes!"
The woman who had just appeared rather decent, without uttering a single curse word, now suddenly revealed her true character, spewing all kinds of offensive language from her blood-red lips.
With each curse from the woman, Zhen Yu continued to twist harder.
She didn't bother to question the woman any further, instead watching and listening with an impassive face.
Mrs. Zhen was sowhat at a loss, not knowing whether to intervene or what to do if she did, so she just stood there motionless.
Zhen Yan was also a bit shocked, but felt more relief than surprise!
This damn hag had co to make trouble at Shoe City early in the morning, drawing everyone out from the store to the entrance, clearly on purpose!
The surrounding crowd began to whisper to each other, with murmurs rising.
"It hurts! It hurts..." The woman's tears had fallen, and finally, not caring to curse anymore, she cried and begged, "I was wrong! I was wrong! Please, let go!"
